College Station ISD was recently one of 250 school districts in the U.S. and Canada and one of only 18 districts in Texas to be honored by the College Board with placement on the 10th-annual AP® District Honor Roll.

It marks the sixth year in a row for CSISD to receive this honor.

Districts are selected for increasing access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams. Reaching these goals indicates that the district is successfully identifying and preparing motivated, academically-prepared students who are ready for the opportunity of AP.

College Station ISD is committed to expanding the availability of AP courses among prepared and motivated students of all backgrounds.

In 2019, more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, and/or consideration in the admission process.

Inclusion on the AP District Honor Roll is based on the examination of three years of AP data, from 2017 to 2019, looking across 38 AP Exams, including world language and culture.

For inclusion on the 10th Annual AP District Honor Roll, districts must meet the following criteria:

Increase participation/access to AP by at least 4% in large districts, at least 6% in medium districts, and at least 11% in small districts;

Increase or maintain the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students taking exams and increase or maintain the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students scoring 3+ on at least one AP Exam; and

Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 2019 percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher to the 2017 percentage, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more than 70% of its AP students earn a 3 or higher.
